No idea on the oil line adapters as they look custom machined. Probably one of the bits they had to CNC while putting the bike together. Wouldn't be suprized if it was the same folks who did the rear motor sling and shock mount.
The forks are from Paioli out of Italy.

What do you mean no merge? AS in the two don't come together? It looks like they do to me but I may be wrong. Shit is tight no matter what!

I find the way you've put this behind you and moved on genuinely inspiring

I'm joking mate - people getting projects off the ground have always had to deal with ridicule. Just keep going.

Vanessa thanks for the pictures - interesting how members here relocated the battery/electronics etc more or less along the same lines as Mondial. Looks funny seeing the Honda lump in that frame though.

Thanks, it was in jest really

if it was not for the people who ridicule most would stop out of lack of drive

the bike does look nice with the 51 motor in if for sure

I have been in contact with the fellow who bought over the Mondial stock of parts when the firm went into liquidation.
Just to give you an idea of prices each fairing side panel cost 1108€ and it's unpainted...

Rode one very briefly a few years ago ; dealer's own bike . Mmm ... wonder if he still has it . Engine response felt very similar to the RC , similar vibration levels , not as top-heavy , and more flickable . In sum , would kill for one .

every comment you make and thread disolves to your cheapeness and how can you steal something

ever think working hard gets you places and giving away work and jobs is not great for america? I have started from nada and in a few short years almost gotten to where i can give another american a Job and i would be grateful to do so

your rosy tinted view of yourself and darkened vision of others has clearly effected your eye sight. perhaps a there is a laser surgeon somewhere that can remove the large amounts of your ass from around your head and help you see a little more clearly.

fair enough, but I couldn't let that pass without a little ball busting. it's well established a full merge is more effective than a crossover tube, but your original design had neither, and either one would have made a better product for you to sell. had that original thread not mysteriously disappeared it would be clearly evident that some were trying to help you with your design not hate upon you. we've all turned over a new leaf though right? so lets let bygones be and just let it lie as I was just funnin with ya.

would be fine with me except you are MISTAKEN. My mold and design ALWAYS had a collector and i have the model here as well as the finished product and they always had a connection. you tried to preach to me about what i already had and then insisted i was changing to suit because you helped a design that has been around since 2000

Site Builder

I appreciate your help but not when you are telling me what i knew and then trying to act as if you helped when you did not.

FWIW the thread left as it was troll bait for the forum idiot and you and i know it was offering nothing productive to the forum except worthless banter. I am here to help the 51 crowd that cares and am all for supporting people who try to do that same, or enjoy bikes the way i do but the ground and pound is old and silly.

take my parts or leave them fine enough but i am here to stay and have been on a 51 for ten years and am one of the few lwft bothering to make new parts and stay interested in the bike so deal with it
